Anyone watching the Julian Assange segment on Newsnight?

BMS1 [Edit] [Delete] 28 replies 00:01, 21 August '12

The pro-Assange bloke accidently turns out to be a PR nightmare for Assange.

      • fucking hell

        it must be tough to start a segment with galloways rape-apologist routine and then find someone who comes off worse.
        How was this man a diplomat?

        umlaut_ampersand this'd this
      • A few things the ex-diplomat said left me opened mouthed.

        To those who didn't watch, you're best advised to catch it on iPlayer than go by the comments on here. Some very sensitive/personal things were aired I thought.

      • It all got a bit awkward

        Gavin Esler seemed like he wanted to give him a good ticking off

      • well looking at the twitter reaction

        It's clear that Assange has a lot of tinfoil hat wearing women hating rape apologists as supporters.
        .
        If there ever was a US conspiracy against him then they'll be putting the jets back in hanger after the behaviour of the wannabe messiah, gorgeous George and that guy on newsnight doing a far more successful job at discrediting themselves than the CIA could possibily have hoped to do.

        soapy | 21 Aug '12, 01:14 | X
      • The people coming out to defend him are... incredible.

        The US have done their job, it seems.

      • New York Times today

        Oliver Stone and Michael Moore - what a load of unsubstantiated, conspiratorial, tin-hat wearing crap

      • Also, Craig Murray (chap from newsnight last night)

        Defending his actions by claiming (it's already on google) i.e. the filesharers defence

        • ...

          *Gavin Esler, Joan Smith and I all knew her name – what special rights do we three enjoy that entitle us to know that, but would intend to debar the viewers from knowing that?*

          This defence that everything should be known by everyone should really be applied to the man himself and all the weird kinky shit he's into*.

          *Presumably.

          • I think he demonstrated last night what a contemptible amoral slimeball he is

            HEY MY WIFES A RAPE VICTIM

            and some of my friends are black

            so I can do all the victim shaming I want

            now pass me the tin foil

      • Mrs Assange?

        Gringo @Pigfoot | 21 Aug '12, 13:54 | X
        • I foolishly tuned in

          when a woman takes someone home and closes the door, it can no longer be rape. You can't be raped by someone you know, only by a stranger

          • snap!

            his speech is almost python-esque in its sense of absurdity
